Ithaca College hosting exercise psychologist Fiona Gillison

Fiona Gillison — a senior lecturer in exercise and health psychology from the University of Bath — will give a presentation at Ithaca College comparing programs designed to promote physical activity to sedentary adults on Thursday. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Gillison will present "Waste the Waist vs. Passport to Health: How Do We Identify the 'Active Ingredients' in Different and Complex Exercise Programs?" at 12:10 p.m. in room 107, Hill Center.

Gillison's research is focused on investigating methods that support people improving their health behaviors to prevent and reduce obesity. She also conducts research to explore the most effective strategies for promoting behavior change and how people react to and interact with policies designed to promote health.

Her talk is sponsored by the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences. For more information, contact associate professor Deborah King at 607-274-1479
